A bit plasticy bulbs can blow but otherwise OK. 2014-02-16 15:44:04

I bought both this and the smaller quotIndoorquot model. Both are made of light plastic that is probably easy to break if you treat it rough but otherwise OK. The quotgrillquot that catches the insects has gaps that seem almost too big and very small mozzies might be able to escape though I039ve only seen desiccated bodies fall through.This one is much bigger and more powerful than the quotindoorquot model and has a quottrapdoorquot to seal the bugs in when you turn it off. This means mozzies that are still alive can039t fly out when you turn it off so you can use this OK on a timer. On shipping mine the weighted trapdoor came loose inside the unit. It was easy to pop back into place but you might want to check it before plugging it in. This one uses a UV fluro tube that blew after a couple of weeks of 24x7 running. You can buy replacement bulbs from Jaycar and you need to undo 4 screws to replace the bulb. The indoor model uses UV LED039s that don039t blow so I prefer that one overall. I don039t see why this one is quotoutdoorquot compared to the other. Both models have the DC power jack on top and you would want to keep them sheltered from rain. I use both outside under a veranda.I039m not sure about the quotphotocatalystquot CO2 production. I can039t see anything special but I039m guessing the white plastic is doped with it. That white plastic is now a bit sooty and I039m wondering if that has helped improve it039s performance by giving it carbon to quotphotacatalysequot.The important thing is it really works. I039ve seen mozzies fly into it though it also catches other bugsmoths a bit. When I first started using it it didn039t catch many mozzies but there weren039t many around. However recently it039s been going great and catching lots and I039ve definitely been getting less bites when hanging around outside.
